Perilous Times in the Last Days

1

But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.

2

For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3

without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,

4

traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

5

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

6

For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,

7

ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8

And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

9

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
